STUDENTS from the University of Bradford will be dressed for success thanks to a kind-hearted donation from a city tailoring firm.
Imran Khan, who runs IK Collections on Westgate, has donated blazers for students who are part of the Bradford Futures Fun. This supports those who might otherwise struggle to afford to study for a degree.
Mr Khan said: “I wanted to put something back into the local community. Some of the students may be disadvantaged and can’t afford to buy a blazer.
“If they are going for an interview, it will help to make them look smart."
Philip Fisher, senior development manager at the University of Bradford, said: “We are immensely grateful to Imran Khan for this generous donation, boosting the employability of recipients of the Bradford Futures Fund by helping them to present themselves for jobs while at university and beyond.
“Made possible solely through generous donations from alumni and friends of the university, these scholarships award £1,500 a year to undergraduates facing the biggest challenges in accessing and remaining in university education.”
IK Collections has made suits or jackets for a host of high-profile names including King Charles III and ITV Dancing On Ice judge Christopher Dean.
